Pakistan and Sri Lanka are all set to get on the field for a three-match ODI bilateral tour at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. Both sides will enter the series to set the tone early and keep winning momentum on their side. With it, Pakistan will be looking to extend their home dominance under skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi’s leadership, while the visiting side will look to conquer on the foreign land.

The Men in Green recently clinched a 2-1 ODI series win over South Africa and will be eager to carry that momentum forward. Openers Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub will aim to provide a strong start to the match, while Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan will remain the main key pillars in the middle order. Sri Lanka, led by Charith Asalanka, would arrive with confidence after their recent series win against Zimbabwe. With Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana in form, their spin attack could pose a challenge to the home team. Given both teams' performance and squads, the opening ODI match promises to be an exciting thriller.
